To differentiate with serum, the brain CSCs were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS for a period of 4 weeks. To differentiate with NK cell supernatants, NK cells were left untreated or treated with the combination of anti-CD16mAb (3ug/ml) and IL-2 (1000 units/ml) for 18- 24 hours before the supernatants were removed and used in differentiation experiments. The amounts of IFN-γ produced by activated NK cells were assessed with IFN-γ ELISA (Biolegend, CA). Serum-differentiated XO2GB (XO2GB-S) were further selected for differentiation with the NK cell supernatants. Differentiation of XO2GB-S with NK cell supernatants was conducted with gradual daily addition of increasing amounts of NK cell supernatants. XO2GB-S required on average a total of 0.035pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants from IL-2+anti-CD16mAb treated NK cells per tumor cell during a 7 day treatment, whereas XO2GB CSCs required 0.070pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants from IL-2+anti-CD16mAbmAb treated NK cells per tumor cell for 7-10 days to promote differentiation and resistance to NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. Initially 1X106 tumor cells were cultured and treated with NK supernatants for differentiation. Afterwards, target cells were rinsed with 1X PBS, detached and used for experiments.

NK cells were purified from healthy donor’s PBMCs as described above. NK cells were left untreated or treated with IL-2 (1000 units/ml) and anti-CD16 mAb (3 μg/ml) with or without monensin (1:1300) for 24 h as per manufacturer’s recommendation. Afterward, the supernatants were harvested from NK cells and the amounts of IFN-γ produced were measured with IFN-γ ELISA (BioLegend, CA, USA). NK cells were then fixed with freshly prepared 2% paraformaldehyde for 15 min and then washed three times with 1× PBS. Thereafter, fixed NK cells were added to OSCSCs at an effector to target ratio of 0.75–1. After 5 days of treatment, NK cells were removed from culture and OSCSCs were used for experiments.

Differentiation of OSCSCs was conducted with gradual daily addition of increasing amounts of NK cell supernatant. On average, a total of 1500 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants obtained from IL-2 + anti-CD16 mAb-treated NK cells was added for 5 days to induce differentiation and resistance of OSCSCs to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. DPSCs and SCAP cells required on average a total of 3600 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants obtained from IL-2 + anti-CD16 mAb-treated NK cells during a 7-day treatment, whereas MP2 tumors required a total of 7000 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants from IL-2 + anti-CD16 mAb-treated NK cells for 7 days to promote differentiation and resistance to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Afterward, target cells were rinsed with 1× PBS, detached, and used for experiments.

Human NK cells were purified from healthy donor's PBMCs as described above. NK cells were left untreated or treated with anti-CD16mAb (3 ug/ml), IL-2 (1000 units/ml) or a combination or IL-2 (1000 units/ml) and anti-CD16mAb (3 ug/ml) for 18–24 hours before the supernatants were removed and used in differentiation experiments.

Differentiation of OSCSCs was conducted with gradual daily addition of increasing amounts of NK cell supernatant. On average a total of 1000 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants obtained from IL-2+anti-CD16mAb treated NK cells was added for 4 days to induce differentiation and resistance of OSCSCs to NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. DPSCs required on average a total of 3600 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants obtained from IL-2+anti-CD16mAb treated NK cells during a 4 day treatment to promote differentiation and resistance to NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. Afterwards, target cells were rinsed with 1X PBS, detached and used for experiments.

Human NK cells were purified from healthy donors' PBMCs as described above. NK cells were left untreated or treated with a combination of IL-2 (1000 units/mL) and anti-CD16mAb (3 μg/mL), (a condition to induce split anergy in NK cells) for 18- 24 hours before the supernatants were removed and used in differentiation experiments. The amounts of IFN-γ produced by activated split-anergized NK cells were assessed with IFN-γ ELISA (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Differentiation of OSCSCs and MP2 cells was conducted with an average total of 1500-2000 pg and 4000-7000 pg of IFN-γ from IFN-γ containing supernatants, respectively, over 4-5 days as described previously 18 (link). Differentiation of A549 and A375 cells was conducted with an average total of 6000 pg and 15000 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants, respectively over the course of 5 days. Differentiation of X02GB required 35000 pg of IFN-γ containing supernatants as described previously 57 . Initially, 1X106 tumor cells were cultured and treated with split-anergized NK supernatants for differentiation. Afterward, target cells were rinsed with 1X PBS, detached and used for experiments.

HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 hepatoma cells were kept in full DMEM medium (DMEM, 10% FCS, 1% pen/strep, 1% sodium pyruvate, 1% NEAA; Life Technologies). For co-culture experiments 5x104 target cells per well were seeded in collagen-coated (Serva, Heidelberg, Germany) 96-well flat bottom plates. When cells had reached confluence, differentiation medium was applied (Williams medium, 5% FCS, 1% Pen/Strep, 1% sodium pyruvate, 1% NEAA and 0.5% DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich). Target cells were used for experiments after 10 to 14 days of differentiation. The number of effector T cells/well was adjusted according to the transduction efficiency of each receptor to identical numbers of TCR-expressing cells. Viability of target cells was assessed using an XTT assay (Roche) and supernatants were subjected to an IFN-γ ELISA (BioLegend).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
